"He is still young, but of course there is still a long way to go."

"Give him more time and he may surpass you one day."

Grandpa Xiao looked at Mu Tansong, "But to be honest, this kid Xiaosong is really much calmer."

"This way you and Aying should feel relieved."

"yes."

Mr. Mu's eyebrows relaxed, "It's finally not hopeless."

"Know repentance."

"It's not like your child Xiaoxiao. You don't have to worry about him since he was a child."

...

"We are worried too."

Grandpa Xiao waved his hand, "It's just that the worries are different from those of ordinary children."

...

"Just be happy."

Looking at Grandpa Xiao who was smiling happily, Mr. Mu rolled his eyes.

He looked at Xiao Xiao, "Xiao Xiao, do you like this wood carving?"

Although everyone's reaction said everything, Mr. Mu still asked more questions.

"like."

Xiao Xiao nodded simply, "Grandpa Mu, your carving skills are amazing."

"Ah Jiu and Ah Bai look exactly the same as me."

It's like a scaled down model.

…

"Haha, as long as you like it."

The wrinkles at the corners of Mr. Mu's eyes widened, "Although it's not a valuable thing, it's still your thoughtfulness from Mr. Mu."

"Thank you for helping Grandpa Mu's family such a big favor."

...

"Okay, just say thank you once. Why are you so polite, old guy?"

Grandpa Xiao said with some dissatisfaction.

"Aren't you just saying thank you?"

Mr. Mu looked sideways.

"Okay, the thank you gift has also been delivered, so we won't bother you."

"Hey, come on, eat a piece of watermelon before you go."

Grandma Xiao picked up the plate with watermelon.

Mr. Mu and his family were not too polite. After each eating a piece of watermelon, they said goodbye and left.

…

The Xiao family gathered around the wood carving and looked at it for a long time.

Especially after the white plum blossoms are in full bloom, the way Xiao Xiao stands under the tree really looks like something carved out of wood.

"How did you do this old wood? It's like it was carved just watching this scene."

Grandpa Xiao was amazed and amazed at the same time.

"yes."

Grandma Xiao nodded sympathetically, "Old Mu Mu is indeed an experienced craftsman."

"This level is probably at the master level, right?"

…

Originally, Xiao Xiao wanted to move the wood carving to his room, but others agreed that such a good piece of art should be placed in the living room.

The minority obeys the majority.

Finally, Father Xiao carefully placed the wood carving on the cabinet next to the TV in the living room.

Next to it is a white porcelain vase with a narrow neck, with a branch of white plum inserted in it.

The few white plum blossoms on top are blooming just right, and the faint plum fragrance is spreading.

Suddenly, looking at the wood carvings, one would think that the white plum tree is full of flowers and the cold fragrance is assuring.

...

Even so, Xiao Xiao still felt a little uncomfortable seeing his wood carvings placed like this in the living room.

However, seeing Mrs. Xiao and others looking satisfied, he shrugged, silence is golden.

Anyway, he will go back to school tomorrow, so he can be regarded as out of sight and out of mind.

...

After lunch at home the next day, Xiao Xiao said goodbye to his family and all the monsters in the yard, and set out for school.

...

But after knocking, the door suddenly opened with a cheerful smile from Zhang Bo, "Third brother, you're here."

"Um."

Xiao Xiao responded and walked into the dormitory through the door that Zhang Bo let go.

Zhuge Yun and Zhao Luzheng are both in their respective positions.

"Lao San (Third Brother), you are here."

...

"Okay, the third child is here, you can talk to the boss."

Zhuge Yun urged.

"Yes, boss, tell me quickly."

Zhao Luzheng looked like he had been reminded, "What on earth is going on?"

Xiao Xiao put down his luggage, stopped opening the suitcase when he heard this, and looked at Zhang Bo curiously, "What?"

...

"hey-hey."

Zhang Bo smiled very proudly, "Let me tell you..."

It turned out that Zhang Bo went to sea with his uncle again before going home.

Fishing is a common activity.

Unexpectedly, he caught a huge yellow croaker.

It weighs eight pounds!

...

"My uncle was shocked."

"He has never heard of anyone catching such a big yellow croaker."

"You even say I'm lucky."

"Hmph, this is obviously my strength!"

Zhang Bo put his hands on his hips and was very proud.

...

"Damn it, such a big yellow croaker?!"

"Boss, are you lucky?"

Zhuge Yun couldn't help but complain.

...

"Boss, that's awesome!"

Zhao Luzheng looked impressed, "Isn't such a big yellow croaker valuable?"

...

Zhang Bo rolled his eyes at Zhuge Yun and said, "A dog cannot spit out ivory from its mouth."
